    The document summarizes a field trip to Labrador Nature Reserve and Labrador Park where tree heights were measured using a ruler method. Plant species found on the trip were also documented, including their names, descriptions, and whether they were native. A sole rooster was spotted on the nature trail. The experience prompted reflection on mankind's relationship with nature and the need to curb global warming and environmental destruction.

    Average Tree Height

    6
    By holding one’s arm parallel to the ground, a similar model is created to the real scenario of
    standing away from the tree. The distance from the tree to the person is analogous to the arm
    length of the ruler holder. By measuring the height of the tree from the perspective of the ruler,
    an approximation can be made to the height of the tree in reality.
    Arm length was measured to be 58.5cm. The formula for finding the tree height is as follows:
    Tree Height = Ruler length⁄Arm length X Distance from tree to person

    Reflection
    Our experience on the excursion was meaningful. It prompted me to ask questions pertaining to
    the meaning of nature and man’s influence over it. I reckon that man must love nature, and
    dwell alongside it, rather than treating nature as a tool to be used. Seeing how small oneself is
    amongst the trees and greenery, I felt a sense of tranquility taking in what nature has given to
    me. It made me reflect on the impact of global warming, and the evil that mankind wreaks unto
    nature, pure and undefiled. Action must be taken to stop it at all costs.
